(5) Insulation Test The insulation between power terminal of control panel and earth shall have a value of 250V 20M and above. TROUBLE SHOOTING The Control Panel is produced with an advanced technology and delicate design that is easy to assemble. It requires no special skills to trouble-shoot a malfunction, thus avoiding any teething problems that might be encountered during maintenance. 1. Malfunction of Loop Indicator & Combination PBL Box The system devices are assembled with many single units (refer page 2), either the Detectors, Circuits or Combination PBL Box become defective, it will affect the functionality of the Control Panel. (1) Measure terminal AC with a Multi-meter for any voltage. (2) Check whether the AC SW inside the control panel is set to ON and the AC Power indicator on the Display Board is light up. (3) Check whether the AC Power indicator and the Voltmeter on the Display Board are functioning properly. The system should specify DC24V. (4) Check whether fuses are in good condition. Whether LED next to AC SW inside the control panel is light up. (5) Check whether the external devices and wiring conform to specifications, as stated in this handbook. 11
2. Function of Fuses The Control Panel inside has several fuses, each fuse with individual protection function. It must not be replaced with fuses that do not conform to specifications or are of low quality, otherwise we will not be liable for any damage. Burnt fuses are probably caused by external wiring error, short circuit or faulty external devices. (1) F1: Fuse for power source AC 220V. (2) F2: Fuse for standby power source. (3) F3: Fuse for Combination PBL Fire Indicating Lamp. (4) F4, F4-1: Fuse for area bell. (5) F5: Fuse for direct current source DC24V. 3. Causes of Burnt Fuses & Inspection Guidelines (1) F1 Fuse Burnt (A) It could be due to excessive voltage supply that causes the F1 Fuse to be burnt. (B) Conformance of Specification (lower-rated fuse may be burnt by a surge of current). (2) F2 Fuse Burnt (A) Check whether the standby power polarity + and have been in reversed position. (B) Similar to inspection guidelines for F1 Fuse, the standby power supply will pass through F2 Fuse when power supply from the Main Source has been cut-off. (3) F3 Fuse Burnt (A) Check for any short circuit wiring of the Fire Indicating Lamps or any short circuit of the Fire Indicating Lamp s bulb or bulb holder. (B) Check for any excessive current consumption of the Fire Indicating Lamp and check for any short circuit of solder wires on the Indicating Lamp s head. (C) Disconnect the outlet wire ( + and ) of the Fire Indicating Lamps and replace F3 Fuse. Measure the outlet for any voltage. (D) If the output of Control Panel is correct, then to connect the wire only after the external wiring have been repaired. (4) F4, F4-1 Fuse Burnt (A) Check for short circuit of the Area Bells and their respective wiring. (B) Check for excessive current consumption of the Area Bells. (C) Disconnect the outlet wire ( + and ) of the Area Bells and replace F4, F4-1 Fuse, measure the outlet current for correct output. (D) If the output of Control Panel is correct, then to connect the wire only after the external wiring have been repaired. 12
(5) F5 Fuse Burnt F5 Fuse is allocated to a secondary power and also serves as a second line protection for the panel s direct power source. If F5 Fuse burnt, should check whether other wiring (except F1, F2, F3, F4, F4-1) has power leakage happened. 4. Combination PBL Fire Indicating Lamp & Alarm Bell Malfunction (1) Remove the external wiring of the Fire Indicating Lamp and Area Bell. (2) Measure the ( + and ) outlet of Fire Indicating Lamp with a multi-meter and heck whether it is read DC24V. Then perform a fire test. Reset after it is completed. (3) Measure the ( + and ) outlet of the Area Bell with multi-meter. It should not have any voltage supplied. Then perform a fire test and a DC24V voltage should be recorded. Reset after the test. (4) When the test results conform to (2) and (3), it indicates that the control panel is functioning properly. The wires should only be connected after the external wiring have been repaired. 5. Loop Indicator Malfunction Based on our experience, most of the Loop Indicator malfunction due to incorrect external wiring. Other factors are mainly due to incorrect handling or incorrect wiring terminal inside the control panel. 6. Loop Indicator & Discon. Ind. Indicator light up When one or several Loop Indicator light up and Discon. Ind. Indicator blink simultaneously, it should be regarded as a signal of circuit break. In this instance, inspection and repairs should be carried out in the following manner: (1) Check for any loops in the control panel are not in use, if yes check whether the Dip Switch on the Terminal is in the ON position. (2) Remove the circuit that in trouble; the disconnection signal should immediately go off. (3) If test results conform to (2), it indicates that the control panel is functioning properly. The wire shall only be connected after the external wiring has been repaired. (4) Inspect the external circuit to check whether last detector has been installed one End of Line Resistor, or improperly installed. (5) Check for any break in the external wiring as well as any dislocation of detectors. (6) Set the multi-meter to mode and measure the malfunction circuit resistance value. The resistance value between the circuit line and common line should be around 10k. (7) After removal of the circuit line, there should not be any voltage between the circuit line and common line. The wire shall only be connected after the external wiring has been repaired. 13
7. Loop Indicator & Fire Indicator light up When one or more Loop indicators and FIRE Indicator light up simultaneously, it should be regarded as a fire alarm signal. The inspection and repair guidelines are as follows: (1) Remote the circuit that in trouble. Measure between the circuit line and common line to check for short circuit or resistance value is normal (normal value is around 10k ). (2) After remote the circuit that in trouble, the control panel must be reset. At this moment, the loop indicator should carry a circuit break signal. To cut off the signal, set the Dip Switch on the Terminal to ON position. After repairing the circuit line, re-activate the Dip Switch on the Terminal and then re-connect the external circuit line. (3) Check for presence of any short circuit of the external wiring, or any defective detectors.
